Sensible Suggestions Relating to Children.
A Medical Opinion ON Choral.
A signal advantage In the treatment OF
young children or infants, says The Herald OF
Health, Is the fact that they do not rememter
or imagine. More than half the difficulty in
treating the diseases OF grown people lies In
the formation OF theories BY the patient which
a physician labors In vain TO break down and
finally humos. 1t would be well for mothers
to remember this simple truth. When child
has recovered from cold he does not carry
the memory Of 1t to make him sneexe and
shiver for several weeks. We know by the
thermometer that II Is several degrees colder,
and forthwith pile on more clothing, stir up
the fires and feel cold to the marrow of our
bones. A child, In happy Inconsistencies,

young children the fussy ideas which belong

should be trained not to feel slight degree Of

,sery About Dom Pedro's Health.

About Dom AeOrO's hoSSt"s
Inc daily reports OF the physicians in
attendance upon his majesty the emperor
have uniformly reported satisfactory pro
gress toward recovery. He goes out driv-
ing and walking every day when the
weather permits and at times shows much
of his former capacity for long journeys.
At the same time it must be confessed
that there is a very general and decided
uneasiness in regard to the case. No one
disputes the accuracy of the daily bull
letins, but there is very general impress
sion that they do not cover all. There has
lately been noticeable effort to scclude
his majesty and to prevent visitors f;om
seeing him. This appears inconsistent
with the reported improvement in his
health. If slight restriction was put on
visitors some weeks ago when he was SO
weak, why should they be enforced now
when he is so much stronger? There is
very general belief that his majesty's
mind has become affected, and that q
knowledge of this is to be kept from the
public for time if possible. This belief
we most sincerely trust is unfounded, but
it must be confessed that the ministers
and physicians are not proceeding in the
right way to correct trio News.

to the dress caps, the hair is, in some cases,
dressed with high loops at the back and ar
ranged in front la pompadour. In other
cases the back hair is arranged in coil OF

Manners and Customs Practiced In Polite
Society.
There are certain little ways of wording an
invitation, say dinner invitation, that
hardly change, save io- the names, dates and
addresses. As good authority as Mrs. Bur-
ton N. Harrison initiates the novice into
these as follows:
II the dinner to be given is not one of
ceremony (which in New York means a
banquet to which guests are hidden three
weeks In advance), the hostess most often
writes in the first person to her dear Mrs.
Tompkins, hoping that "you and Mr.. Temp
kins will give us the pleasure Of your COM
pany at dinner on Tuesday, the twenty fifth,
at half after seven o'clock and signing her.
self "yours cordially, M SMITH"
To which Mrs. Tompkins, as promptly as
may be, after due consultation with her liege,
responds, perhaps, as follows:
Dear Mrs. Smith IL on easy terms Of
friendship, otherwise My Dear Mrs. Smith:
Mr.. Tompkins and have great pleasure in
accepting your kind invitation to dinner on
Tuesday, the twenty fifth, at half after
seven O'Clock. Yours cordially,
LNCoMpK1Ns.
It will be noted by the observer that both
Mrs, Smith and Mrs. Tompkins write their
dates in full, and that Mrs. Tompkins takes
care to repeat the date and hour Of the pro-
posed festivity in order that no misunder-
standing may arise.
Should Mrs. Tompkins, on the other hand,
be accustomed to give many and ceremonious
repasts, she will be provided, for use on such
occasions, with large, square cards, engraved
a. follows, with blanks for insertion Of names
and dates: TA

pleasure Of Mr.. and Mrs Smiths company

A NEW TEXTILE PLANT.
The Herb from which Mexicans Make
Pulque to Be More Useful.

The Herb from which Mexicans Make
Pulque to Be More Useful.
Mr.. d. p. Burden, of Sanford. began
two years ago to experiment with the
growth OF an indigenous plant he dis
covered In the vicinity OF Sanford, ma
guey, and q species like 1t, but OF some.
what finer fiber, which he calls by an
other Mexican name, agave. OF this
plant the beverage pulque is distilled.
Mr.. Burden came the other day to
Jacksonville to enlist our leading citizens
and capitalists in the new industry, and
has met with SO much encouragement that
he will remain over for two or three days.
He has dozen or more stalks with the
beautiful silvGy gray Abers separated into
threads, any one Of which Is almost, or
quite, strong enough to use as ordinary
sewing thread. The plant is perennial,
and when once 1t takes root becomes as
firmly attached to the soil as Bermuda
grass. Mr.. Burden is enthusiastic over
his new discovery. He says 1t will, with.
out other labor than the most intermittent
attention, yield from $3.50 to $3.50 per
acre. 1t will soon be one OF the main
agricultural Industries Of Florida-grows
on the sandiest and cheapest barrens, thus
utilizing soil which has heretofore been
held as almost worthless. 1t Will take the
place of hemp and dethrone king cotton
In very great part. Two years ago he
found the plants In Sanford and now has
q good supply Of shoots. 1t grows spon-
taneously without care or fertilizing. A
cord made of the fbers twisted to the size
of an ordinary lead pencil will sustain
1000 pounds suspended for any length OF
time. rl
EVERY one who has seen and handled
the beautiful specimens becomes enthused
over its possibilities and predicts that
oranges will not long be our main pro-
duct. We advise our readers to hunt up
Mr.. Burden, examine the fbers and hear
him discuss the merits Of the new product.
1t will not be many years before we
shall see gentlemen dressed in full suits
made of strong and elegant cloth woven
of Florida's own native plant, and then
she will be in all respects more indie
pendent of the outside world than any
other of the states Of the Union.-Jack-

says: at is the first thing now taken by q

ard; and to the doctor, in many cases, it is

A Remedy for the Common wart.

1t is very pleasing to know that a cure for
the common wart, SO unsightly and often SO
abundant on the hands and face, has been
announced by physicians. According to The
Medical Press, small doses of sulphate Of
magnesia taken internally will remove them.
M. Colrat, of Lyons, has drawn attention to
this extraordinary fact. Several children
treated with three grains Of EPSON salts,
morning and evening, were promptly cured.
NJ. Aubers cites the case Of woman whose
face was disfgured by these excrescences, and
who was cured in month by dram and a
half of magnesia taken daily. Another man
reports a case of large warts which disap-
peared in fortnight from the daily admins
